[ale] perl 5.003 and gdbm

[plr10 at duts.ccc.amdahl.com (plr10 at duts.ccc.amdahl.com)]

	I just tried to run perl 5.003 and got an error message 
indicating that it couldn't find libgdbm.so.1.  So, I got the gdbm 
package (gdbm-1.7.3.tar.gz) from prep.ai.mit.edu and installed it.  
However, it only created libgdbm.a.  Does anyone know what I did wrong or 
how I get libgdbm.so.1 generated?
